Waterbury, Connecticut, USA

Hi Marsha,
    My name is Nikki Barbieri and I am a third grade teacher in Waterbury. I shop at your family's meat market and your sister noticed a pin I was wearing that said I Love to Teach which brought us to you! I would love to correspond through the old fashioned handwritten style with you and your class if you would like. We have e-mail access at school but not access to the lab on a regular basis. I look forward to hearing from you either way.

Hi Marsha and class,

Dear Marsha,
    Evev before I knew of you and your Dream network I have prayed for the people of Israel. I will continue to pray and now I have names to go with them. As a parent you are so right in saying how the world situation affects us all. I cry for nameless and faceless innocent victims along with all the mothers of the world. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you. I will not be back to school till Jan 5th for my students to catch up on their mail so please forgive us. But please keep in touch with me. I will go online periodically throughout the week. With sincerest regards
Nikki
